After traveling through Detective Conan, I became a popular person

Chapter 172: Paying debts with one’s body

Before I knew it, the entire month of September had passed.

It seemed that overnight, the lush branches and leaves in the yard in summer began to wither, adding a sense of sadness and desolation.

“Beep, beep, beep…”

The intermittent ringing from the mobile phone was particularly harsh in the silent room. The girl on the bed barely stretched out a fair and slender arm and answered the phone with a slightly tired movement.

"Good morning...Excuse me, who are you?"

Because Hoshino Hitomi was still sleepy, her voice had a hint of laziness and softness, which made it seem a little more alluring.

"Good morning, Hitomi-chan~"

The clear and pleasant male voice on the phone had a slightly rising tone at the end, and the voice came up low, making people's ears numb.

When Kenji Hagiwara heard the other person's soft voice that sounded tired and slightly sleepy, he immediately realized that the other person had just woken up.

Thinking that he had accidentally disturbed his beloved's rest, the joy that had just surged in his heart disappeared in an instant, as if a basin of cold water had been poured over him.

Instead, there was endless regret and self-blame. His tone became cautious, with a hint of guilt, which moved people.

"Did you just wake up? Sorry to disturb your rest..."

Hearing the other person's clear, mellow and deep voice, Hoshino Hitomi instantly guessed that it was Kenji Hagiwara.

"Ah, it's Kenji."

Hoshino Hitomi picked up the alarm clock on the bedside table and took a look, only to realize that it was almost ten o'clock in the morning.

Thinking of the other party's pitiful apology to her just now, Hoshino Hitomi comforted her in a gentle voice:

"It's okay, don't blame yourself. I had something to do last night, so I slept a little late."

"By the way, Kenji, is there anything you need from me?"

Upon hearing this, Hagiwara Kenji's originally drooping mouth corners instantly lifted up to a nice angle, and his tone became cheerful again.

"Well, I didn't expect that Hitomi-chan recognized my voice so quickly. I'm really happy."

Hoshino Hitomi felt that she could see the other person's handsome and charming smile through the phone screen.

Hagiwara Kenji chuckled and said jokingly with an ambiguous meaning:

"I was thinking that if Tong-chan got angry after being woken up by me, I would pay the debt with my body..."

When Jinpei Matsuda heard this, he became jealous and his handsome face immediately darkened. He then suddenly interrupted Kenji Hagiwara.

"Hey, Hagi, stop changing the subject. Have you forgotten what we were going to tell her?"

Jinpei Matsuda stood with his arms folded, leaning against the wall, his posture straight, like a green pine.

He squinted at Hagiwara Kenji and complained to him with a slightly unhappy look:

"You know she's very busy at work. If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for not using my fists to help you."

Hearing this, Hagiwara Kenji immediately said aggrievedly:

"Xiao Zhenping is too much. I just talked to Tong-chan not long ago. What's more, we haven't talked on the phone for almost a month. I just want to chat with Tong-chan for a while."

"Besides, Hitomi-chan doesn't have any work to do today, right? Didn't she just get up?"

Matsuda Jinpei responded with an unreasonable look:

"Huh, wasn't it your phone call that woke her up?"

Hearing what Matsuda Jinpei said, Hoshino Hitomi couldn't help but covered her mouth and laughed, and then explained to them:

"Okay, stop arguing. Thank you Jin Ping for thinking about me. I was a little busy at work some time ago, but I'm almost done with it recently, so I can take a week off."

When Matsuda Jinpei heard this, he felt a burning sensation on the tip of his ear. He hesitated for a moment before slowly opening his mouth and asking:

"Are you feeling better...?"

Hoshino Hitomi smiled and responded, "Much better, thank you for your concern."

"Also, it looks like you guys want to ask me out, right? If you can come out while you're at the police academy, I'll naturally have no problem with that."

In fact, Hoshino Hitomi had already seen that Matsuda Jinpei was still blaming himself for the fact that he had unintentionally exposed her inner scars.

Even when facing her now, Jinpei Matsuda changed his usual sharp and direct tone and showed more patience and gentleness.

However, she still couldn't understand why Jinpei Matsuda blamed himself for so long because of her few short words before.

But from another perspective, it is probably a good thing, because Jinpei Matsuda is no longer as impulsive and reckless as before, but has become much more mature and rational.

After hearing the reprimand from Jinpei Matsuda, Kenji Hagiwara calmed down a little and cleverly changed the topic back.

"Hitomi-chan is so smart, you totally guessed it~"

There was a faint smile on the corners of Kenji Hagiwara's eyes and eyebrows, and his violet eyes seemed to be filled with stars.

"Although there are still a few days before our weekend meeting, Xiao Zhenping and I still want to meet Tong-chan earlier, so..."

"We're going back to Kanagawa this time. Do you want to come with us, Hitomi-chan?"

Kenji Hagiwara's tone was filled with joy, and he was looking forward to the other party's reply.

Hoshino Hitomi naturally agreed to their request, "No problem, I just happen to want to go back to Kanagawa to take a look."

Upon hearing this, Kenji Hagiwara was so happy that his eyes were narrowed into slits due to smiling.

"That's great~ Let's meet at xxx at noon!"

After chatting with the two for a while, Hoshino Hitomi hung up the phone.

She stretched out her jade-white hand and gently lifted a corner of the quilt that Kurosawa Zhen had covered her with last night. With her other hand, she supported her waist, which had become soft and weak from the whole night of making love, and sat up gently from the bed.

She looked around, her eyes sweeping across every corner of the room, but she did not see the familiar figure - Kurosawa Jin was not here.

There was a flash of disappointment in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

After all, based on her understanding of Kurosawa Jin, he must have gone out early in the morning to carry out the mission assigned to him by the organization.

However, she still pursed her lips in dissatisfaction and complained secretly:

[Really? It’s always like this…]

[You were supposed to go out on a mission so early, but you still work so late...]

Doesn't this man need a rest?

Hoshino Hitomi walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling window and stretched lazily in the comfortable autumn sunshine.

However, the next second, she almost collapsed to the ground due to the numbing sensation in her waist. Fortunately, she held onto the wall at the last moment and managed to maintain a standing posture.

Hoshino Hitomi held the wall with one hand, and staggered back to the bed, holding her sore waist and feeling like crying:

[We both spent a day and a night in bed, but why is it that Kurosawa Jin is fine and can still carry out the mission as usual, but I don’t even have the strength to stand up…]

Xiaoyi said weakly: [Host, is it possible that it is not one day and one night, but three days and two nights...]

*

After Xiaoyi's detailed explanation...

Hoshino Hitomi said with disbelief on her face:

[Wha, what?! ]

[You mean, I've been sleeping for two days? ! ! ]

Xiaoyi: [Yes…]

Hoshino Hitomi rubbed her curly hair with both hands in annoyance, cursing in her heart:

[Kurosawa Jin!!! Don’t let me catch this bastard, or I won’t let him go! ]
